BIGHIT Music is set to debut a new boy group, CORTIS, on August 18, 2025, six years after TXT's debut. CORTIS's name represents Color Outside the Lines, symbolising creative freedom and breaking away from traditional norms. The group is known for their self-producing style, similar to BTS and TXT and has already gained attention for their collaborative spirit and emphasis on originality.
